Thanks for your reply. I looked at the tape over again on a 19" square TV, and the only part that even gets closed to being clipped off is the far right edge of the client's logo. It's all there, but is right to the limit on that side. Other than that, everything looks fairly centered. I usually record to this 19" square screen TV and as I'm working on things that go to videotape, I try to make sure that everything is centered properly by having the image on the screen as I'm working. That way I can also check for weird colors, etc. You mention a 13" TV — gee, can't find one of those around anywhere! I'm going to have to trust that the client's studio will indeed let me know if the Targa thing should be done, but I was quite thrown off by the fact that they can't do the dub themselves. This sent up a red flag. This animation, although very short, will make a nice portfolio piece when recorded off the TV program. I hope it doesn't end up on the cutting room floor, although the client told me that they definitely want to use it. So we'll see. My concerns are that when broadcast, something will get clipped off, or the quality will be poor and grainy. I only wish I had been told at the get-go that this was going to be part of a TV segment.
